Serious question: how long does it take to spin up a VM on Windows then? Does it take seconds?

- tehbeard 5y agoFor a "cloud image" I have in virtualbox (so no gui) for testing cloud-init/ansible, about 15-20 seconds. WSL1 takes about a second, and I'm pretty sure most of that is the init script that spits out network/update info.
